In the lawless banana republic we are currently living in, you almost have to wonder if it even made sense to challenge Obama when he said he wanted to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? By that definition, many of us Americans are insane for speaking out. In hindsight, perhaps we should have told him it was a great idea, and left it at that. MAYBE (doubtful) the number would have stayed at 10,000. Instead, by calling out His Royal Highness, once again Obama is doing what Obama does when he knows he’s dead wrong: Doubling down. As of noon today, the Daily Caller reported that Obama plans to hurry up and get 2,224 Syrian refugees into the country before Thursday.

With this recent development, It appears as if Obama wants to give us all one more reason to be thankful, right? Same goes for the refugees. Why not hurry the process up, and get them here so they can celebrate Thanksgiving too? After all, they’re practically Americans already, right? Like the rest of Obama’s plans for future Democrats… I mean… uh… illegal executive amnesty and refugee aid, once the refugees arrive, you can be sure there will be an enormous Thanksgiving dinner waiting for them… all on YOUR dime. How much worse can it all get right? Let’s see, we’ve had a Former FBI Assistant Director Who Risked His Life And Exposed Obama In Huge Way, we have multiple members of the military community wondering why in the hell Obama Warned ISIS With Leaflets Before Bombing Them, and you’ve gotten about as much Proof Regarding Obama’s Treason as any one person can handle, so if people aren’t asking themselves if there is ANYTHING we can do about this, it would be alarming. As crazy as it sounds, the Senate Democrats, who are the minority in the Senate, have ALL of the power to obtain justice, and NONE of the requisite integrity their positions demand. I explain more in the video. 

I’m as guilty as the next person saying things like, “ARREST HIM,” or I see people on social media writing, “IMPEACH HIM,” and the reality is it’s just not that simple. First of all, only ONE person in the United States has the power to “arrest” the President, and that is the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms. No one else. Furthermore, our Constitution is very specific in the language it uses. Article II Section 4 says:

“The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

So, Obama would need to FIRST be IMPEACHED in a Senate Hearing, which is different then when Articles of Impeachment are filed. In the video below I briefly explain the nuances of what it takes to Impeach a President, because many people do NOT understand the process. Once impeachment is final, then it would seem conceivable that the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms can then officially arrest and imprison him. He cannot be removed from office until after he is convicted and no sitting president will ever be imprisoned as long as he has the power of the Presidency at his disposal. Logic would then suggest that no sitting president can ever be arrested until he is removed from office. Logic would also dictate that any Democrat successor would pardon his sorry behind.

UPI reports:

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 21 (UPI) — President Obama vowed Saturday to keep United States borders open to refugees “as long as I’m president” as he visited a Malaysian humanitarian center and met migrant children, many of whom escaped violence in homelands that include Myanmar, Pakistan and Syria.

Obama, in Malaysia for the 3rd ASEAN-U.S. Summit, chatted with young children at the Dignity for Children Foundation in Kuala Lumpur, asking them what they want to be when they grow up and observing their drawings. At the same time, lawmakers in Washington, D.C., on both sides of the aisle continue to feud with the administration over refugee screenings.

“They were indistinguishable from any child in America,” Obama said after meeting the children. “And the notion that somehow we would be fearful of them, that our politics would somehow leave us to turn our sights away from their plight, is not representative of the best of who we are.”

Thursday, the House passed legislation to impose rigorous screening on Syrian and Iraqi refugees entering the United States. The bill would subject each of the some 10,000 refugees to vetting from various government agencies including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The administration said it is a virtually impossible task. Obama, who returns to the United States on Monday, promised to veto the legislation.

In the president’s weekly radio address, taped by Vice President Joe Biden and released Saturday, Biden said refugees, “face the most rigorous screening of anyone who comes to the United States.” That includes finger printing and a host of background checks that take up to 24 months.

“Let’s also remember who the vast majority of these refugees are: women, children, orphans, survivors of torture, people desperately in need of medical help. To turn them away and say there is no way you can ever get here would play right into the terrorists’ hands. We know what ISIL — we know what they hope to accomplish. They flat-out told us,” said Biden, referring to the extremist group that also goes by the names Islamic State, ISIS and Daesh.

The Conservative Papers writes:

Technically, no. If the president commits a crime he will be charged. If he is convicted, he’ll be impeached and the vice president will take office. From there, the president will be tried again, this time he will get a sentencing with it. While in office the President has a security detail called the Secret Service that isolates a President from ANY threat that may come their way. If any law enforcement official dared to approach them, they could easily keep him safe from the lawman and any legal action he may want to take against the president.

The present executive branch of government has repeatedly displayed its disregard for the law of the land and has done many things outside of Constitutional Law.

The only time an arrest of a President has ever come close to happening is the Watergate scandal with Nixon, but he resigned before charges were ever brought forth. The House of Representatives has the power to impeach the president but then the Senate must convict them before any punishment can be handed out.

Once a president is impeached tried and found guilty of a crime can they be arrested, we have found one and only one person that has been specifically given the power within our government to arrest the president. The Senate Sergeant at Arms has the power to arrest anyone that violates Senate rules. The proof is in the following government website where it states: “The Sergeant at Arms is authorized to arrest and detain any person violating Senate rules, including the President of the United States. http://www.senate.gov/reference/office/sergeant_at_arms.htm

The Constitution isn’t silent about why the president can be removed it states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

From this we can see that the only way to remove a president is by impeachment AND conviction of treason, bribery, high crimes or misdemeanors. This also hints to the fact that the president cannot be arrested until he has been convicted by the Senate.

It would seem conceivable that the Senate’s Sergeant at Arms can then officially arrest and imprison him. He cannot be removed from office until after he is convicted and no sitting president will ever be imprisoned as long as he has the power of the Presidency at his disposal. Logic would then suggest that no sitting president can ever be arrested until he is removed from office.

  • A President can be removed from acting in a Presidential capacity if he is mentally ill or other wise too ill to faithfully execute his duties under the United States Constitution.

    The Vice President would take his place until such a time the Prsident is no longer mentally ill or too sick to execute the duties of the President of the United States.

    Even officials in other countries think he is mentally ill.

    I’m sure there are doctors right here in America who would agree.

    He could also save some face and do the world a favor and resign.

    • You can actually Impeach his Entire Administration if they are Proven to be Corrupt and Lawless. Like this one has for almost 8 years now.

    • Dereliction of Duties, Violation of Oath of Office, Endangering American Citizens, (waves of undocumented immigrants), Nixon got Impeached over a 18 minute phone conversation, Clinton got Impeached over Lying Under Oath ‘Purgery’ So Yeah, Obama can and needs to go now!

      • Now’s the right time seeing Trump’s campaign is in full swing.
        Obama needs to go now even more than in 2015.
        One and half years alter he’s still in office.
        People have taken theuir eye off the ball and gone to sleep.
        Now’s the right time to act.

        Obama’s not crazy, he’s got no identification.

  • jdp…Is there not a medical reason to oust Obama due to mental status? article 41. It seems like we have a too stringent rule for ridding of a president going a muck.

    • The mental issue is not Obama.
      The issue is with those who covered up for him.
      This is the Apocalypse because the system’s broken down and they’re all guilty.

  • jdp…If he vetos the bill the cutting his funding is a must.

  • um no, you would not have to impeach the imperial queen first.. they can arrest him for forgery, perjury of oath, perjury, fraud, defrauding the federal government..

    The only people immune from arrest in the federal government are congress/senate while seated or going to from congressional sessions!

    • The arrest would be for Obama’s forgeries.
      If Obama is sentenced, his whole gov (and on both sides of the aisle) will go with him.
      How could anyone be spared seeing they’re all guilty as hell?

  • Important to remember: You MUST impeach a legitimate president but if FRAUD occurred in the attainment of the office, NO benefits/protections of the office are due. NO IMPEACHMENT NEEDED.
    This legal principle is the same as not allowing a successful and caught bank robber to use the proceeds of the robbery to pay his defense “team” lawyers when caught.

    He is illegitimate and proven so beyond a doubt — just not proven guilty in a court of law. And that law-guilt is needed for just punishment… in this case it is treason and severe penalty. A “decent judge” would issue the arrest warrant on sufficient evidence that the office was fraudulently obtained (meaning he was relatively confident the case of fraud usurpation would prevail).
    We the people do not lack justification for arrest, nor a just path to arrest without impeachment due to ineligibility and fraud. We lack the will and power and means for effecting the arrest. We would be WELL WITHIN common law and the LAW OF THE LAND, the US CONSTITUTION.
    HE IS ILLEGITIMATELY, FRAUDULENTLY in office, well established, the burden of proof for NBC eligibility is his and his alone and he fails every time. And this is the opposite of the definition “sitting” meaning legitimately occupying the office.

    • Impeaching is just a distraction and will be a sorry loss of time, money and opportunity to go after Obama better and faster.
      Best is just to arrest Obama directly for High Treason with a good judge, good sheriff and tough special prosecutor to lead the way for that process.
      Forging his identification for Obama, is the worst crime in the History of the World far, far worse than Hilter Genghis Khan, and Stalin COMBINED (they never got the nukes).

  • First of all he is NOT a sitting us president. He is a IMPOSTOR sitting as a US president. So, there is NO NEED of an impeachment process.

    You just send a regular squad car and ARREST THE NEGRO for posing as a US President. It is that simple but nobody will do it showing your officials are ALL COMPLICIT in the crime of the negro to DEFRAUD and COMMIT HIGH TREASON on its own citizens and the United States of America.

  • Oh yeah, the American public better be disarmed too?

  • Only if Americans rise up and take action, but you know that’s not going to happen.

  • Then satan picked the perfect country for the anti-Christ / traitor to rise in! America was so easy to take down.! Even easier than France ever was! And it wasn’t by foriegn invaders. It was just some guy who decided he didn’t have to follow rules! The people, the government, the law were all impotent! No power, or will, to stop him on any level! And the traitor says “muahahaha haha ha!”

  • ALF

    Maybe the crowd who ‘removed’ JFK will wake up and realize that even their empires are going to fail. Just US for all.

    Someone is going to snap! Maybe Hillary when he shafts her, as unlikely as that is considering. hahaha

    Imagine them all going off at each other. I say, let’s get them all on UFC or MMA then shoot the last bastard standing. It only took one magical bullet to remove JFK. Who knows what the future holds? This will be amusing to watch. Monkeys with machine guns! Nutcases with nuclear weapons! Satans with swords and all manner of psychopaths murdering in the name of ? THEMSELVES.

    I should have gone to the last few meetings when society decided to go completely insane. WW3 is your governments answer, so one can assume THEY are completely and totally INSANE. BARKING MAD. LUNATICS!

    A President can be removed whenever the real government decides to murder him, whomever THEY are.

  • I just wonder if he is bulletproof?

    • He will be out of office soon anyway, so it’s a moot point. As to the question, I guess you’l have to ask a Constitutional Lawyer.

      • He will out of office soon only to be replaced by another dictator.

  • Well then, according to the U.S. CON-stitution, & POTUS = WE are all not created equal then, & if that is the case, then the U.S. CONSTITUTION needs to be RATIFIED, so that ALL DOMESTIC ENEMIES to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, can be ARRESTED, TRIED, & CONVICTED, just like THE COMMON CRIMINAL…

  • But Murica is an anti-Semitic society. It has spent the last 100 years replacing its people with anti-semites. What is so surprising about the eventual millions of middle easterners its stoooges in the middle east are ethnically cleansing all flowing into Murica and Canada?

  • yes :cool:
    But during the process how much more damage to the country. :sad:

  • This new style video sucks. Go back to the old video player. This video player will not go to full screen.

  • Much ado about nothing.
    If there were any in position of power, on either side of the aisle, who were willing to hold a trial, arrest, imprison, impeach, or any of the other actions against Mr. Obama that they are required by their oaths to carry out, they would already have done so.

  • Obama is Not above the law and should have been arrested for his nonsense during his first term but I would have been labeled a racist for that even though there was nothing racist about it, This guy is just flatout lawless! He is.

  • hang on until 20 July 2017…we will have a new president then…

  • oops, I meant to say:

    hang on until January 20th, 2017…we will have a new president then…

    darn finger dyslexia!

  • YES

  • Leo

    he can be assassinated :grin:

    • Yes…. but you would also have to take out Biden, Jarrett, Reid, Pelosi, Ryan, McConnell… and Soros for frosting on top. Otherwise all would remain the same.

  • barb

    The article of the Constitution which you cited, gives one reason or way for the president to be removed from office. It does not state or seem to be intended to state that it is the only reason or way to remove him/her. Are you intentionally trying to be misleading??

  • Let’s say Obama’s the Antichrist. That’s true. I’m the Messiah because I alone reveal the proof of the Antichrist by the lottery in Obama’s homestate drawing 6666, the Number of the Antichrist, on the day after Obama’s election.

  • obama has done nothing but Treacherous acts since he became President of the United States of America, the list is too long to print here. I can’t believe that he is still in our White House and in our Government it is unbelievable to me. Someone needs to remove him out of the White House, out of our Government and out of the United States of America. Amen!
    I would also like to comment that those who take sides with people who illegally shoot & kill others for what another has done are just as responsible as those doing the killings. GOD forbid it to continue, WAKE UP Americans and realize what obama is doing, he started blm just to start race wars so that Americans would kill Americans because he & his islam people believe that Americans are infidels and need to be killed. And if Americans are killing Americans then that is less Americans that islam has to kill. GOD forbid that to happen anymore. Amen.
